Book Review-Planning and Managing Death Issues in the Schools: a Handbook, by R Deaton and W A Berkon

The reviewer considers this handbook a comprehensive source of valuable information for educators to design multi-faceted programs in response to multiple causation situations. It includes an extensive prevention section with a table detailing self-esteem, feelings & emotions, coping, help-seeking, suicide & depression, & lifetime curriculum objectives. The intervention section is comprehensive & succinct. Postvention is a “how to” manual with emphasis on Critical Incident Stress Debriefing.
